New Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce has released Robbie Fowler.

The 33-year-old Liverpool legend signed for Paul Ince on a 3-month pay-as-you-play deal which has now expired.

Allardyce said: "We have decided to let Robbie Fowler go. His contract was due for renewal and I decided not to renew that.

"I also spoke to Nigel Winterburn today to say that, from my point of view, in terms of specialist defensive coaching, I think I can look after that area myself now.

"I spoke to Nigel and Robbie, wished them all the best, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well."

He's still as arrogant in his demeanor as always isn't he!!!

Fat irriot!

i really can't stand allardyce ...... as for God i really don't know whether or not he should retire i am so torn ..... on the one hand i still remember when he was the best striker i have ever seen in my life (and i include rush in his prime in that) and i so don't want to see the end of his career on such a low .... on the other hand his body is obviously just not upto the job anymore

he should end career at liverpool long ago

I understand that. Get him in coaching kids!

He is just completely arrogant and thinks he knows it all, no doubt Rovers will avoid the relegation this season though

Arrogant... Ihope rover do down this season...

As for fowler, i won't be surprised to see him in championship for the rest of the year...

Yeh me too. I don't think its time for him to hang up his boots just yet and you never know, he might join the team that finds themselves being promoted at the end of the season

i'd like to see him as the striker coach and lfc. god knows robbie keane needs it atm.

I hope he doesn't retire; Robbie loves the game - it still gives him a thrill and he's still got the ability if not the fitness.

It's a shame he didn't apply himself when he was younger since he really isn't too old to actually play. But then I guess he wouldn't have been the enigmatic player we loved..... he wouldn't have been god.
